Superbranes and superembeddings

D Sorokin - Physics Reports, 2000 - Elsevier
We review a geometrical approach to the description of the dynamics of superparticles,
superstrings and, in general, of super-p-branes, Dirichlet branes and the M5-brane, which is …

Twistor theory at fifty: from contour integrals to twistor strings

M Atiyah, M Dunajski, LJ Mason - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
We review aspects of twistor theory, its aims and achievements spanning the last five
decades. In the twistor approach, space–time is secondary with events being derived …

[BOOK][B] Supermanifolds: theory and applications

Conformal higher spin theory

AY Segal - Nuclear Physics B, 2003 - Elsevier
We construct gauge theory of interacting symmetric traceless tensors of all ranks s= 0, 1, 2,
3,… which generalizes Weyl-invariant dilaton gravity to the higher spin case, in any …

D= 11, p= 5

PS Howe, E Sezgin - Physics Letters B, 1997 - Elsevier
The equations of motion of the super five-brane in D= 11 dimensions are derived using the
formalism of superembeddings. The equations describe highly nonlinear self-interactions of …

[BOOK][B] Quantum Cosmology-The Supersymmetric Perspective-Vol. 1: Fundamentals

PV Moniz - 2010 - books.google.com
We read in order to know we are not alone, I once heard, and perhaps it could also be
suggested that we write in order not to be alone, to endorse, to promote continuity. The idea …

Conformal higher spin symmetries of 4D massless supermultiplets and invariant equations in generalized (super)space

MA Vasiliev - Physical Review D, 2002 - APS
Realization of the conformal higher spin symmetry on the 4D massless field supermultiplets
is given. The self-conjugated supermultiplets, including the linearized N= 4 super Yang-Mills …

Superembedding approach to superstrings and super-p-branes

IA Bandos, DP Sorokin - Handbook of Quantum Gravity, 2024 - Springer
We review a geometrical, so-called superembedding, approach to the description of the
dynamics of point-like and extended supersymmetric objects (superbranes) in string theory …

I Bandos, K Lechner, A Nurmagambetov, P Pasti… - Physics Letters B, 1997 - Elsevier
We show that the field equations for the supercoordinates and the self-dual antisymmetric
tensor field derived from the recently constructed κ-invariant action for the M theory five …

Pure spinor lines in superspace and ten-dimensional supersymmetric theories

PS Howe - Physics Letters B, 1991 - Elsevier
Demanding analyticity along supersymmetric lines in superspace defined by pure spinors
